The 70 Duster......

Carcrazyguy;It sounds like you need a guy that operates from his home shop. I have seen spectacular results from guys that keep the car for a year or more.I think this is due to them being able to give the project the attention it deserves and not being in a hurry or too busy with cash cow insurance jobs.

I actually have the guy picked out that I want to work on the car. He is a painter by day and just bought a house that has a shop that will allow him to work on side jobs. He came very highly recommended. I spoke with him and we agreed on a hourly rate and I would pay for all supplies. He has made two appointments and has not shown up for either??? I know it is the holiday season and he is moving so I am trying to give it some time to see what happens. From his previous jobs and talking to him I feel he can really do this car some justice, I just wish that he would come look at the car and set a time frame of when he might want to start on it!

My plan C or is it D (?) right now is finding a shop outside the Amarillo area to finish it. I really wanted the car to stay in Amarillo so that I could help support the local shops and talent. Plus it is a way that I can keep my Dad involved in Mopars and the build without him having to spend his money to do it. He gets to watch the progress as if it were his own project. Anyway that may be my last resort but I sure hope it does not come to that. I sometime wished that I would just buy a finished car, but why miss out on all this fun! The hunt and the build are the best part of these projects!
